Tyson vs. Williams
True Williams is a hard puncher, but not as hard as Tyson, especially in his prime. Williams would have to kick alot to keep him at bay. I doubt he could go toe to toe with Tyson for long. Tyson use to have exceptional footwork(although not dancing like similar to Muhammad Ali but effective), especially at lunging steps to get inside off of opponent's punches. Tyson was also an exceptional at slipping and bobbing, which would have made him a difficult target for any puncher of any art to strike consistently. Tyson was also in exceptional physical condition to last
Tyson was a devastating fighter in his style with his physical gifts. He is not invincible, as we have seen in the past, but he is still one of the most difficult opponents for anyone of any Martial Art to beat one on one, especially if you have no technical knowledge of how to defend against Western Boxing techniques(Which would go for any style if you have never examined it before).
Tyson hit hard and fast and was relentless. Now he is more vunerable due to his age, and the ramifications of the bad decisions he has made over the course of his career that has severly hampered his mastering his full potential and damaged his place in boxing history.
A Mixed Martial Artist with solid boxing skills and exceptional takedown skills would have the best chance of defeating Tyson in his fighting peak.
